#75 Owner in Daytona: Darwin Oordt, whose #75 Winston Cup team is in limbo as he tries to find a sponsor, is in Daytona as a spectator. He declined comment on a breach of contract suit filed by his driver, Wally Dallenbach. According to printed reports, Dallenbachs contract called for him to be paid a $1 million salary this season, a promotional fee of $600,000 and half of the teams winnings, which last season came to $1.16 million. Oordt said he hopes to secure a sponsor and join the circuit at its third stop, March 4 at Las Vegas. Dallenbach has said he cant afford to wait. He wants to be freed from his contract to seek another driving job. What, if any, compensation he is seeking has not been revealed(Tennessean)(2-18-2001)
